It's the one I mentioned on the first e-mail and this one, that was suggested by Andre Hedrick on another post: if(is_sata(hwif)) { + drive->id->hw_config |= 0x6000; if(strstr(drive->id->model, "Maxtor")) return 3; return 4; } > Are you aware of side effect? > [ Disabling DMA on ATAPI devices on SiI680. ] > > Please consult this change with Alan :-). No, I'm not. Sorry. I'm look for more information. But dma is working with my SiI3112A, everything is stable, so maybe it should be enabled by default for this chipset. Also, there's a change missing in this patch. The PCI id for SiI1210SA is missing in 2.6.x. #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_680? ?? ?0x0680 +#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_1210SA? ?0x0240 #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SII_3112? ?? ?0x3112 Anyway, thank you for taking a look at this.
